It seems like during the Khrushchev period the Soviet economy reached a new period of vibrancy and development that was then crushed with the Brezhnev coup and recentralization of the economy during the "Kosygin Reforms", seeming to lead directly to the stagnation that would bring down the USSR. I know that is a heavy oversimplification of what happened, but for the sake of brevity in layout of this what if, let's go with that for now. So is there a way that Khrushchev could have continued in power and fought off Brezhnev, continuing to introduce market reforms and prevent the stagnation of the economy that started in the 1960s?
